Martin Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thinking off getting this bad boy. Any other suggestions? Will get used for a bit off light gaming/fannying about/watching beastiality porn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm not sure it'll perform very well with the beastiality stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sortedford Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Why not build something with better quality components? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 What components would you suggest for the same price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 You wont get branded for the same price, but for me I feel its worth paying the extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) You could build a nice Intel i5 PC with 1tb hd, 8gig ddr3 ram for that price.Might have to add a little more to upgrade the GFX, but depends really on your needs. Cpu intel i5 sandybridge roughly £130Motherboard around £408 gig ddr around £401tb HD around £80DVD drive £15 > (depends what you need)Case £40 > (again depends what you want)Various gfx card 1gb options for around £40 Edited February 7, 2012 by PeeWee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The i5 has HDMI out and is perfect for normal use and Blu Rays. I'm not much of a PC gamer so don't know how it compares to a dedicated low-end card. Or you could buy the PC I'm selling, fling some RAM and a graphics card in it and it wouldn't be far off that machine for about £100 less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) With extra cash I would change my recomendation but tried to keep as close to the original pc shown.Im the same as sid really in terms of any gaming done via consoles so I can't really point you at a gfx option to suit your needs. My personal next build project shall be an i5 based apple mac for sub £300 running OSX Lion retail (not a hacked up version) and dual booting Windows 7.

PeeWee Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 How does this work, gfx gpu via cpu (not dealt with any i series cpu yet) does it just link via the motherboard outputs for connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 How does this work, gfx gpu via cpu (not dealt with any i series cpu yet) does it just link via the motherboard outputs for connection? Some intel processors work in combination with the chipset to provide a video adapter. I do this on my HTPC with its i3 cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
